Detailed Solution

Assertion (A) is true. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes, such as proteases, lipases, and nucleases. They fuse with food vacuoles formed during endocytosis or phagocytosis, releasing their enzymes to break down complex molecules into simpler ones that can be utilized by the cell.
Reason (R) is false.  Lysosomes are not primarily rich in oxidoreductase enzymes. Instead, they contain a variety of hydrolytic enzymes responsible for breaking down macromolecules. Oxidoreductases are enzymes involved in redox reactions, not typically found in lysosomes. Therefore, the reason provided does not accurately explain the role of lysosomes in food particle digestion.
